labor of love

Okay so I'll admit that I post pictures that I've ripped off the internet,
but very rarely do I post pictures of projects that I've got nothing to do with.
1932 ford 3-window - ran when parked





















Last week I found one of the most amazing transformations,
and it is well, amazing.

rear support




















Looking through the pictures,
I can relate to how much work this involved.
Is this some weird Italian thing?
metal finished




















The thing is his finish work is way beyond mine,
for a personal project anyway.
primed




















So the story goes,
the body was found in Washington,
and was shipped out to Italy a couple years ago.
1932 3-window for sale - cheap - needs work

rust




















Over there it seems like he hand hammered most of this.
Mr Nuvolari must have one huge arm!
metal finished II




















I would be happy to keep it metal finished just like this!
paint prep




















If you've got some time here's a detailed build log...

  2. Yeah but the big difference here is that this guy refinished his,
    and I chickened out and traded mine away!
